To ask your resting heart rate

[Kate489]

Mine is averaging 55bpm, which Dr Google says is too low unless I'm an athlete. I'm not an athlete. I would manage a 5km in 37 minutes at a push nowadays.

Wondering what yours is?

Mine was 58 at the GP today.

I had some minor surgery a while ago and was watching the monitor during the surgery. I just spent the time focusing on my heart rate and seeing if I could go into a Zen like state by trying to get it low.

@Toodaloo1567 I think people might be confusing resting heart rate with the lowest rate their watch shows during the night.

No, the Apple Watch makes the distinction - resting heart rate excludes sleep time. That's shown separately.

53 at the minute. Averages around 56/57

Mine is 70,(average? I’m 45 so no idea if that’s good or not, got all this stuff on my Apple Watch

My resting HR is normally around 80. This has hardly changed even though I used to run marathons regularly. I'm absolutely nowhere near able to run even a 5k at the moment!

My BP is pretty low. The last time I had it taken it was 93/61. I do occasionally get visual blackouts when I stand up too quickly 😅 I've never fainted though ...yet.

52 bpm

I'm mid 40s, go to the gym twice a week and do 2 hours of kick boxing a week. Reasonably fit.

73

You'll get a lot of responses from people with below-average heart rates, but most of those heart rates are taken from fitness trackers which aren't reliable. Also a lot of people will have arrhythmias that they aren't aware off which throws off readings too. Heart rate should be measured manually.

Used to be 63, since taking Mounjaro it's around 73 even though I am now fitter and healthier 😎

Resting is between 45 and 50. Goes down as low as 39 when I sleep. Mid thirties and healthy weight. I’m no athlete though, the only thing I run is my mouth.

I do have very low blood pressure which I’m wondering if it’s connected. No ill effects apart from getting a buzz if I stand up too quick.

Mine is around 64 - taken via BP monitor so is accurate. I have hypothyroidism and am unfit.

35 years old- average 61-76bpm

5k in 37 mins is decent, that's what I do and I consider myself quite fit?! Maybe I'm deluded.

Friend of mine was told hers was normal...for an Olympic athlete 40. She's now got a pacemaker.

yep.
I was told low heart beats need to be monitored. especially in peri as hormone changes can affect the heart.

Around 45-48 usually but I run so that makes a difference I’m told

If you run having a low pulse isn’t unusual. I am a midwife and even at full term the mums with low pulses are always runners, they are delighted when I mention this :)

Mines 56.
Very unfit other than walking.

Mine is between 65 and 75 usually. Was put on a new blood pressure tablet recently and it went down to 48. I only realised this because I was having chest pains and felt really weird. Didn't change my actual pressure though 🙄

Mine is between 60 and 75. Not very active apart from being on my feet all day (teacher), being a mum of two young ones, and walking the puppy for 20 minutes a day.
I need to exercise more surely.

Around 75 according to my Apple Watch. I had never really paid attention to my heart rate until my watch literally saved my life 6 weeks ago by alerting to me my soaring heart rate - I had sepsis.

52..... but some days 48

I run about 3x per week, maybe 20-30 kms per week

Mine sits between 40-49. In my sleep my Apple Watch has logged it as low as 37. I'm not athletic but I do run once a week and do the occasional gym class. Medics say it's not a concern unless I have symptoms such as dizziness or shortness of breath, which I don't. It's apparently just my normal. My BP is also on the low side of normal, around 90/55. Again, just normal for me I think.

Mine are based on both my Apple Watch and as taken by medics (including GP and during a recent hospital stay)- they are in agreement with each other. Low to mid 40s at rest, never higher.

Around 60, but I do a lot of cardio.

I am 30yo female and mine is 55bpm too, I am exercise intolerant so no athlete.
